Trump's Second Term

EHocking said:
At the last look, nearly $330,000 has been raised on a GoFundMe page for Sabula, by a personal friend.

“On January 13th, 2026 TJ Sabula, a worker at the Ford Rouge Plant, voiced concerns about President Donald J Trump during the president's visit to the plant. The president responded to TJ with his middle finger saying “F*CK you” and “You’re Fired”. Ford responded by suspending TJ without pay.

TJ is a father of two young children, husband, and is a proud United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 600 line worker. Funds donated will support TJ and his family to cover expenses during this time of uncertainty.”

Wow, the free speech in the US is just overwhelming. At least there you can criticize your government without any threat of retaliation.

Oh wait.

It's not true and It also sucks at math. 1% increase in rents doesn't magically turn into 20%. And hey, if you want to do something to decrease rents, promote policies that lead to more housing being built.

But Trump has said he doesn't want housing prices to go down because then homeowners would lose their wealth.
Contradictory messages from this administration? I am shocked. Shocked I say.

The more extreme Trump gets the more it blows my mind the stupid things he's done to get there. Imagine if Hitler had had a cameo in Home Alone or had tried selling Hitler Steaks before becoming a full on dictator.

I guess that's what makes Trump so relateable. Can you imagine Hitler dancing to Y.M.C.A. on stage? (or anything comparable back in the days)

Trump appears openly as a deranged elderly clown (and as a genius to his cult at the same time), where his minions have to clean after him, time after time (drinking bleach etc.) while Hitler was an untouchable, stiff and strict but charismatic ruler. Hitler was an evil megalomaniac, but I don't think he was an idiot.

Imagine a duel between Hitler and Trump, not with fists, but verbally.

Minnesota has refused to provide the federal government with the names, social security numbers or identifying information of food stamps recipients — they just send a monthly bill. More judicial tyranny.

For what it's worth... Free speech is not the same as freedom from consequences. The 1st Amendment, in particular, deals with government suppression, which is not immediately evident here, given the suspension rather than Trump's firing comment. Ford suspending an employee after the employee disrupted an event that the company had with a visiting VIP is entirely reasonable. This is similar in general concept to how a bunch of white supremacists have got into trouble with their public speech and lost their jobs over it and then whined about free speech using their caricature.

Trump's reaction is worthy of attention, of course, though, personally, I find it utterly unsurprising. His persona is pretty much "scumbag celebrity," after all.

I know someone who used to drink it, but that was early 80s. One time he asked for it, but the barman wouldn't let him have when he saw what it looked like when poured, as he thought other customers might think he didn't know how to look after the beer.

Investigate the reporters.

AG Pam Bondi: I did a memo rescinding Garland's memo saying that reporters will not be subpoenaed, that we will not look at reporters' phones. I rescinded that… the First Amendment is a bedrock principle but this isn't about that.
